An F-16 Fighting Falcon belonging to the Crusaders of the 523rd Fighter Squadron, 27th Fighter Wing, Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., launches for a combat air patrol mission at Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait, on  Apr. 20, 1998.  A mission normally sustained by overtasked A-10 units, the  523rd provides welcome relief as it temporarily assumes  enforcement of the No-Fly, N o-Drive zone in Southern Iraq during Operation Southern Watch.
